Why is it named Soylent?

We take our name from the novel “Make Room! Make Room!” by Harry Harrison. The book explores the impact of overpopulation in a world with dwindling resources, so a new food is created that is called Soylent, which is made of soy and lentils.

Soylent products don’t actually contain the whole soybean, but rather use the protein isolate and lecithin that is derived from soy. These two elements were chosen because they are both sustainable and allow anyone who follows a specific diet to enjoy our product without having to worry.
